I never saw this lady perform her cannon act although I wish I had. Years ago I saw Hugo shoot himself over two Ferris wheels. That was thrilling to witness.

Victoria Zacchini’s Cannon Act
thecircusblog | July 17, 2011
You have to admit this is one “Hack” of an act. There is some serious height here and to it just right it takes a great deal of focus.
Mingo
thecircusblog | July 17, 2011
Mingo was truly a fine circus clown. He came from the old school, he always was a part of clown alley and for those who worked with him would say….. he was reliable no matter the clown gag. The last time I saw Mingo was on the Tommy Bentley circus in 1984?

Siebrand Bros Circus Flying Act #1
thecircusblog | July 17, 2011

Boise Idaho State Fair 1952
thecircusblog | July 17, 2011
The Boise, Idaho, State Fair was one of the top fairs for the Siebrand show. Spring and the summer spots were good too mainly because the show advertised with paper and radio, but the fairs at the beginning of fall were the get well spots. We played 12 to 14 fairs per season and our […]
Siebrand Bros 1952
thecircusblog | July 17, 2011
This photo was shot looking toward the front of the midway. The fact that there were two Farris Wheels tells me that the show was playing a fair. The Farris Wheels acted as a entrance to the carnival from the independent midway.
